long breakkk..

finally a breather from the #%!!(&%# SAF... haha.. a week's block leave is here! time to do own things, spend own time, more time w family and dear, meet-up with old frens blabla.. so yu wana piece of me? contact me pls.. hahaa... today's supposed to have safsa trng but im down with a fever and not feeling really well.. so i guess i'll have to give it a miss.. hope will recover fast and go for thurs trng..

last weekend was pretty meaningful.. took part in my first competition ever since last year's canoeing nationals.. this time is SAVA sprints held at bedok reservoir.. for those who duno, its a dragonboat race.. haha.. represented SAFSA... its been quite a dream really.. even b4 enlisting, i was telling myself i'd join db in army.. haha.. and its not even 2months since i joined and i got to compete... so i felt really lucky.. anyway overall it was a good experience la.. 200m races we did pretty well.. improving every time and not repeating mistakes we made previsouly.. i think the de-brief sessions after each race were really useful.... hmm eventually we were the best performing singapore team la.. getting 4th in grand finals... foreign teams like phillipines and indonesia were really good.. haha they're not human la..

as for 500m we were knocked out in the heats.. personally i din expect to do really well.. i think neither does the team as a whole.. cos we've never did a single 500m race set b4... we've always concentrated on our 200m race.. so we were prepared to be behind at the starts.. but i was really surprised how close we were at the finish.. nus ntu safsa came in within 1 second of each other.. yea.. so although we were out, we did not feel THAT bad.... but after tat we immediately started our training.. went over to temasek poly to do 200 chin-ups and duno how many push-ups.. yea.. my arms are still aching now la wth..

coach told us one thing that struck me really hard..
it goes "do not be afraid of your weaknesses. overcome it, and it will become your strength..."

i heard it and i was like whOooAaa.. =)

anw sunday nite went to send jiayan off at airport.. haha i tot it was a weird idea initially.. and tt i would feel outta place.. but dinner at crystal jade was pretty alright la.. but i felt a little odd when jy saw me and asked "eh? wad yu doing here.." haha.... den some canoe girl said "to send yu off la..." haha... i totally din noe how to reply.. ohwells.. but im glad for her cos she had soo many pple sending her off.. sec and jc classmates.. canoe gers.. family.. yea.. i dun tink i can understand how most of them felt since im not vv close to her.. but some of the mwere really crying their hearts out as time for jy to enter the departure gates drew nearer n nearer.. and i could see jy trying real hard to hold back her tears n put a brave front.. i always felt overseas studies is gg to be a big decision.. alot can change within that span of years.. yupp so all the best to her and the rest who're gg overseas too..

caught miami vice with dear yesterday.. not a really good movie man.. i din like the plot.. not thick enough.. den had thai express dinner.. oh yes b4 that went sch to play ball w nip guanhow chinhow.. rather silly right just 4 pple.. haha.. looked for miss lim too... yawns.. im gettin tired.. shall go slp somemore first..
